This blog is just a quick update and info about our new sweet little boy. He surprised us all by coming three weeks early. I had grand plans this week to get all in order but was shocked Sunday night as our neighbors left after dinner with a suspicious twinge. I told C.J. I just had a contraction that was a painful kind - different than the typical. Anyway, the middle of the night I was quickly finishing dinner dishes, packing bags, climbing shelves in the garage to get baby clothes down, waking my amazed hubby up and calling a friend to come over. I am really good at going into labor in the middle of the night. Little buddy was born at 6:11 am. His heartrate kept dropping as I would have contractions and as he came out we realized why. His umbilical cord was twisted like a tight rope. He had not been getting much nourishment. The doctor said it was a huge blessing he came when he did or he could have been in big trouble. He is tiny but feisty and healthy. He is 5lbs and 8oz. and 19 inches long. His head is only 11 3/4 inches (that's two inches smaller than some of my kids - it makes a big difference on delivery and recovery!) We are all sleep deprived but doing great. The older boys and Lora can't get enough of him. C.J. and I were whooped from the beginning and I can't imagine life without him already. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who knew and took care of our sweet baby.

Congratulations on your beautiful, healthy baby boy!!! We cannot wait to see him. He will be a huge blessing in your life. He makes Gideon seem so old. Good things come in small packages. Eliza was 5 lbs 6 ounces, maybe Spencer will be a firecracker too!!
Tami - Congrats he is adorable! It's so fun your kids! Your family is very missed around our house.
Tam! He's beautiful! :) Lora is looking so big and cute too. We miss you guys. I'm so glad things went well with delivery and recovery. What a blessing...
(You look great in that picture by the way...definitely put that in the center of a scrapbook page. :)
And, no worries...you couldn't be worse than me at updating your blog, or looking at everyone elses. :)
Tami and CJ---way to go! Now all of my girls can marry one of your boys and there will still be one left for someone else (just to add variety!). I am so glad all is well and glad that Heavenly Father was looking out for Spencer and your family. Love you and glad to see your blog. I should make one....one of these days! Love, Amiee and crew
What a beautiful little boy! We're so excited for you and your great family. Hopefully it wont be too long before we get to meet little Spencer in person. Awesome job with the pictures & your blog- it's so fun to be able to see your sweet family. I can't believe how grown up your kids are, it makes me sad that it's been so long since we've seen them. Lots of love, we're sure excited for you!
Jeff, Ang & boys
